Chiefs Has anyone cancelled their Season Tickets? - Page 14

**OnTheWarpath15** · 03-03-2013, 08:13 AM

I haven't been on much since the trade, wondering HOW pissed off people are.

Are you talking, or are you ACTING?

I called my rep on Friday and found out that if I cancel, I'm out a shade over $100 and get refunded the balance of my deposit. Or, I can keep the tickets, and throw good money after bad and be out another $900.

I'm a little pissed at myself for getting excited and jumping the gun, but I honestly never saw these guys making the EXACT SAME MISTAKE this organization has made for 30 years. Should have waited until after the draft, but them's the breaks. At least I minimized the damage.

Anyone else planning on cancelling their account?

I'm sure I'll go to TC, 3/4 games.

Although the wife and I are having our first little one in August and I'm going to be looking to find a job so who knows.

I didn't cancel. The enjoyment that I get from being with friends for a common cause, win or lose, outweighs my disdain for the direction of the franchise...which, though some would disagree, seems to be on the up.

I still can't believe they think this is an innovative idea. It is about as imaginative and disciplined as thinking you invented the internet.

I hope you held off on the cancel OTWP.

But let's face it, if every movie you went to for 30 years sucked ass, at what point would you quit spending your entertainment dollars at the movies?

30 years of Gigli is enough.

Will everybody please leave gigli in the past?

There is still the draft.

yeah, this thread now seems a bit premature, no? Now, the chiefs have done everything that everyone wanted except that they got their quarterback from another team. Now, as long as they draft a "reasonable" quarterback to develop, the CP collective should be thrilled.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-04-2013, 04:33 PM

I'm probably going to go ahead and get them. I'm really not that destroyed over Alex Smith. I know we're going to get a young QB in here soon. I do trust the proven guy running the show.

I wonder if there's a more fickle fanbase out there... but, FWIW, I'm speaking more towards running out to buy season tickets after getting rid of Pioli than wanting to back out after the Alex Smith trade. If nothing else, we sure are desperate to see a winner and willing to pay top dollar to see one. Either way, I've stuck to the thought of "fix the QB position, then show me on the field, then we'll talk," even though simply making an effort to fix the QB (beyond picking up a QB another team doesn't want) would probably sway me into going to a game or two.

No, I won't because I will have saved over 2 grand not watching Alex Smith play for at least two years.

I need more than brisket to get up at the butt crack of dawn, or fork over north of $100 for a room to come see the games every week.

Exactly.

I've mentioned my first stint as a STH here before.

My wife and I tallied up how much money we spent on Chiefs games over the 5 years we were STH's. Tickets, travel, hotel, food, gas, parking, we went to one road game every year, etc.

Came to a little over $25k for those 5 years.

I'm not making that mistake again until they prove to me that they've addressed their 20 year mistake.
